You're So Sweet

Hi bloggers!  A very soft blush and milk card combo for today's card.  I started by embossing the background with the Bed Of Roses embossing folder on blush card.  I cut two of the Canadian borders out of milk card and glued them to the left and right sides of the card.  Next I used the Ornate Pierced Design Nobles to cut a frame.  I cut a thick milk frame and a thin blush frame and glued them together to form one frame.  I added mounting foam to the back and added it to the centre of my card.  I used the Lisbon die to cut a smaller frame, using the decorative piece and the surrounding cutting edges.  I backed it with milk card for a tonal look.  I added mounting foam to the back of it as well.  I cut the inside decorative die from the Porto set out of milk card and placed my frame over it, trimming away the excess card.  Finally I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the circle die in the Porto set, inking it lightly with Antique Linen.  I used the die to trace around to cut a faux mat for it out of blush card.  I matted both pieces and added them to the centre of the card.  I used both sets of the Perfect Peonies to create several of the two tone (blush and milk coloured) flowers.  I added a few Mosaic leaves around them and finished the flowers with cream pearls.  I cut a milk mat, a thin blush mat and another milk mat to finish the card.  Using the Ivory PVA glue, I added dots around the inside milk mat to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8" in size.

So sorry about the spelling mistake in the sentiment on this morning's card.  I have found the original card and changed out the sentiment!  I can't believe that it slipped through unnoticed as those things usually jump right out at me!!  All for now, Sue x
